Introduction to Strategic Thinking
This is a short interdisciplinary course on strategic thinking and some of its most powerful tools. Strategic thinking is not exclusive to business applications or the military. The skills taught in this course can be useful to anyone. Young professionals can use the knowledge to effectively plan their careers, stay-at-home mothers can use it to improve how they communicate with their children, and entrepreneurs can use it to better position their business in the marketplace. Anyone who wants to learn how to think about and solve social, business, personal, environmental, or other problems in smarter and more creative ways will benefit from this course. We will draw lessons and use concepts from economics and game theory, scenario planning, and futures studies, as well as philosophy and language. The course includes reading material, video lectures, and audio content, which is accompanied by short quizzes derived from that content. We will also work on case studies for each topic where students will have an opportunity to practice the tools and frameworks and discuss them with the learning community. At a reasonable pace of approximately one hour per day, a student can finish the course in about one week. The workload will depend on how quickly students consume the content and how much time and effort they wants to devote to the case study assignments. The course will be open for three weeks. This course is designed to be a starting point for people who are just beginning to learn about strategic thinking. It is relatively short, informal, easy to follow, and practical (and hopefully entertaining).

Teaching Online: Reflections on Practice
Designing and facilitating online courses with a diverse student population is a challenge for new, as well as experienced online instructors. This course invites your critical reflection on the methods of online instruction; beliefs and potential bias of the online learner; policies and rules and how they align with course objectives; tone and the purpose of communication. We've collected readings and experiences of practice from online instructors and students to provide a foundation for discussion. The decisions they have made will help us make similar or, upon reflection, different choices for ourselves and our students. Those new to online instruction will benefit from the practical knowledge shared in this course. Experienced online instructors and designers will both expand their exposure to new insights and focus on the details of their own practice. The unique community college perspective, with all its diversity, provides a rich backdrop and adds genuine complexity to the discussion. Resource materials will be primarily open Web readings and videos. Participants will be asked to collaborate, share reflections, and provide guided feedback to other participants.

Advancing Women's Leadership: Own Your Story
We all have a story. No matter where we are in our life's journey; no matter our circumstances; we have something to share that has made us who we are. Capturing and examining our life stories increases our resilience and clarifies our place in the world. Join eight leaders and authors in exploring the power of these stories in our lives. Together, we will share our stories of family and community, work and career, college or school, and the financial, physical, and spiritual triumphs and challenges we have faced. Together, we will acknowledge and embrace those stories using them to ground us and to help us shape our futures. Focused on adult women but open to all, this unique course allows us to document privately, and to share if we wish, the meaningful stories that have been passed down to us and the stories of experiences that we have lived. Our hope is that each participant will draw new meaning and strength from this process.

American Cuisine: Chefs, Authors and Critics
This six-week New School course, which expands on the content of the short free course Innovators of American Cuisine 1, is dedicated to culinary giants Craig Claiborne, MKF Fisher, Edna Lewis, Marion Cunningham, Clementine Paddleford, and Michael Batterberry. As we examine their lives and work, we will explore aspects of the food world ranging from restaurant criticism to food writing, looking in particular at cookbooks, magazines, and newspapers. Each unit focuses on one of the six innovators and draws on panel discussions and interviews with food writers, researchers, and practitioners who knew or worked with them. During the six weeks, you will interact with other students and an instructor, contribute to a blog, and share your writing and images. You will also have the option to submit your own research and reflections to the New School Web magazine, The Inquisitive Eater, a forum for food lovers, professionals, artists, and academics to discuss the role of food in our lives, and its impact on the environment, politics, economics, nationalism, poverty, inequality, and family. We hope this course will encourage you to deepen your exploration of food. With this in mind, we have provided a space for you to discuss your ideas, practice and improve your investigative and analytical skills, and experiment with your ability to communicate through word and image. As we noted in Innovators of American Cuisine 1, we do not aim to create a canon by identifying a set of founding fathers and mothers, but rather to draw attention to the cultural and social dynamics that have brought American cuisine to its present flourishing and popularity. We invite you to look beyond current trends and celebrities to reflect on the contributions of these luminaries to the history of U.S. culinary arts. We do not intend to set U.S. culinary arts as a model. Through the close examination of the American experience and the contributions of innovators to its gastronomy, we want to help you acquire critical tools you can adapt and use to explore your own food culture, wherever you are. This is an open and burgeoning field with much to observe and learn.

Innovators of American Cuisine: A History of the Culinary Arts in the U.S.
This course, offered through The New School, is devoted to the life and work of distinguished culinary professionals of the recent past and present who have changed the way we eat and drink in the United States. We will examine the lives and legacies of food culture giants, Julia Child, James Beard, Judith Jones, and Henri Soulé. Some are well-known to the public, others less so, but they all have left a long-lasting mark on what and where Americans eat, how they cook, and even the way they think and talk about food. Each unit focuses on one of the four innovators, drawing on panel discussions and interviews with food writers, researchers, and practitioners who knew them. Structured around notable figures we refer to as "culinary luminaries," the course leans toward the past. This is not because we intend to create a canon establishing the most important contributors to the development of the food world in the U.S. Much research is developing in the field of culinary arts, which is emerging as a field worthy of attention not only from journalists and practitioners, but from authors and scholars. We could not fully understand the contributions of our four innovators without looking at the social and cultural contexts of their work. The video material dedicated to each of the four innovators will delve into these topics, shedding light on distinctive aspects of the U.S. food world at different points in time. Julia Child, James Beard, Judith Jones, and Henri Soulé worked in fields ranging from media to catering, and from restaurants to publishing. Their diverse contributions hint at the complex dynamics that lead to the evolution of the food world, a world influenced by food producers, restaurateurs, marketers, opinion makers, food writers, and book editors, to mention just a few. Why does the course focus on past innovators, rather than contemporary trends? Today's culinary world is so dominated by the media and their news cycles that we tend to live in a compressed present, always looking for the next hot thing and creating celebrities to fuel the self-perpetuation of the industry. We seldom take the time to pause and look back. How did we get here? Was it always like this? America's relationship with food is particularly interesting because many feel that until the late 1950s the high-end culinary world of the U.S. lived as a reflection of French haute cuisine and its approach to restaurants. What happened in that period that generated radical changes in the way Americans eat out and think of what constitutes good food? We do not intend to set U.S. culinary arts as a model. Through the close examination of the American experience and the contributions of innovators to its gastronomy, we want to help you acquire critical tools you can adapt and use to explore your own food culture, wherever you are. This is an open and burgeoning field with much to observe and learn about. We hope this course will be only the first step in your own research.

The APBP is currently striving to get the College Board to add Accounting to its AP Curriculum. Particular emphasis has been placed on mastering the expanded accounting equation, the full accounting cycle, preparing the financial statements, and understanding key financial ratios. Beginners or those just wanting to learn more about accounting are welcome, in addition to professionals and educators. In order to successfully complete this course, students will need the following prerequisites: 1. The ability to read and comprehend English at a college freshman level. 2. Access to YouTube to view course videos. 3. The ability to perform simple math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), including solving for an unknown, as shown below: a = b*c where you are given a and c and you need to solve for b a = b + c where you are given a and b and you need to solve for a a = b/c where you are given a and c and you need to solve for b

Social Issues Through Comic Books
Are you a life long learner? Do you like comic books? Do you think it would be interesting to discuss social issues using comic books as a lens? Are you an educator looking for different methods to present your material? If so, this course is for you! From the creator of Gender Through Comic Books (aka the SuperMOOC), this six month course will examine current social issues through comic books while understanding how popular culture is shaped by it's surroundings. We will read a variety of comic books including Scalped, Daredevil, Swamp Thing, and many more. While reading these books we will examine topics such as social inequality, the environment, government intervention, addiction, and information privacy. Using lectures, live interviews with academics and comic book professionals, discussion boards, and readings, we will learn about social issues and how they are presented in comic books and the impact that those books have had on the issues whether large or small scale. This will be more than a class - it's a formation of a community.

Creating an Ethical Corporate Culture
This course is designed to provide executives, managers, and supervisors the knowledge and tools to create and sustain an ethical culture in their company, department, or work group. Management theorists and ethics experts have increasingly concluded that this responsibility, to create and sustain the ethical organizational culture, is a fundamental task of every level of management. Course participants will learn that managers select from four basic strategies to create an ethical organization and culture, and make use of ten basic tools to shape that culture and keep it strong. The course also addresses unavoidable challenges to an ethical culture. This course can be taken separately, but in part builds on "Business Ethics for the Real World," another Santa Clara University course offered on Canvas Network. No specific background or preparation is necessary.

Fundamentals of Structured Writing for Technical Documentation
The field of technical writing has come a long way from writing clearly and concisely using a keyboard into a new world of structured writing and content management. Documents are no longer written and published as individual entities within a documentation set but rather written as data segments for reuse on systems that automate processes for controlling and managing the segments. Information is no longer published as a document solely for paper ouput, but for electronic access on PCs, cell phones, and other handheld devices. This means that the technical writer today must be familiar with the solutions that employ the features of structured writing for reuse, and the latest standard approaches for segmenting and storing information for output to multiple types of formats and access on different devices. The course is designed to further your technical writing skills with use of XMetaL, XML, and the DITA standard. It also introduces you to other writing standards, output options, and content management systems. Basic knowledge of writing standards, output options, and content management systems is helpful. Participants can choose to receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course. The cost of the Certificate and Processing will generally be $59.00 (US) domestic and $69.00 (US) international. For this self-paced course, the average time of completion is 6-7 weeks. There are 7 lessons. You may complete the lessons and activities at your own pace after the course start date and complete the work as quickly as you care to.

Task-based Language Teaching with Digital Tools
In this course we will explore more than 300 digital tools used to teach English as a second or foreign language. After an introduction to task-based learning, participants will have the opportunity to evaluate a wealth of Web-based and non Web-based digital tools, design digital tasks, explore authentic assessment tasks, and develop task-based lesson plans and a digital task-based syllabus. Due to the collaborative nature of this course, participants will be expected to contribute to the list of digital tools discussed throughout the course. By the end of the course, students will be highly aware of the wide range of digital tools available and will have a deep resource bank of digital-tasks to choose from when developing task-based lessons within their own language courses. Students should be interested in implementing task-based language teaching and digital tools in their language classrooms.

Reduce Your Organization's Social Media Risk
Effective social media policy protects an organization from risk at the same time as it enables employees to develop more effective ways to accomplish work. Driving the implementation of social media policy is a great way for Human Resources (HR) and business leaders to demonstrate value with executive leadership. This course addresses the first part of policy development: what is the policy need? It begins by identifying uses of social media in the workplace. Then it addresses four areas that present risk to an organization. By the time you are done, you will have an idea where your biggest gaps are that require further exploration and policy development. You will be able to answer these questions: How does my organization use or desire to use social media? What risks exist that require social media policy?

Attract Talent to Your Organization with Social Media
A key skill for HR practitioners or hiring managers is the ability to attract talent to the organization. Today, the availability of social media tools has changed this process, although the end result is the same. Because the tools change so quickly, this course offers a framework for using social media to your advantage, rather than discussing specific social media platforms in detail. This course addresses a key aspect of attracting talent—the employer brand.

Use Mapping to Position Your Brand
When it comes to improving sales and market share, knowing what consumers want isn't enough. You also need to know what they believe your product or service, and your competitors', provides. In this course, you'll examine perceptual maps, which are used to identify how consumers differentiate among products and how they perceive one product relative to another. These maps are valuable for identifying opportunities to introduce and position new products, repositioning existing products, and identifying your true competitors. You will also examine positioning statements, which are the foundation of an overall marketing effort, and learn how to create a positioning statement for your brand.

Build a Business Case for Allowing Employees to Work Remotely
Technological advances have enabled organizations to tap into talent wherever it may be located. Companies are also increasingly operating globally and facing competition from not only domestic but also foreign sources. Economic trends are also putting pressure on organizations to do more with less. Thus, companies are looking at how to get the most from their employees. Today, companies continue to fight the war for talent. With advances in technology, people are increasingly able to work remotely from just about any location, not just at their employer's work site. This opens up new opportunities and new issues in terms of how people accomplish work and how organizations plan strategies to meet their goals. This course is designed to expose HR professionals and leaders to the business case for remote work and key drivers to align remote work programs in their organizations' strategic priorities.

UPDATE: Pujols' lawyer answers Clark's polygraph request
It looks like Albert Pujols won't be taking a polygraph test to resolve his defamation case against Jack Clark.
Pujols is suing Clark for calling him a "juicer" on his radio show back in August.
Clark's attorney suggested in a letter earlier this week that the dispute could be resolved if both men took lie-detector tests.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Martin Singer, a Los Angeles attorney representing Pujols, wrote back, calling the suggestion "an absurd publicity ploy." Singer wrote that his client is willing to testify under oath in a court of law, where it counts.
Clark's radio show was canceled after his on-air comments that former Pujols trainer Chris Mihlfeld had confided in him about shooting up Pujols with performance-enhancing drugs in 2000. Mihlfeld denies speaking with Clark.
Reward offered after Phineas the dog disappeared just before his day in court
A $25,000 reward is being offered after Phineas the dog disappeared Friday night from the Salem, Missouri vet's office where he's lived for more than a year.
The dog has been the subject of legal challenges after being condemned by the mayor in 2012 for allegedly biting a 7 year old girl. She wasn't seriously hurt and experts are questioning the photographic evidence of that bite.
Staff at the veterinary office discovered Phineas missing when they arrived about 7:30 Saturday morning. They'd last seen him Friday evening when they fed the dog.
The vet who's been caring for Phineas, Dr. J. J. Tune was expected to testify at a pivotal court hearing Thursday. Dr. Tune told Fox 2 News that the evidence seems to lean in the dog's favor. "You know, in my estimation, the dog would have been exonerated," Tune said. "The bite wound that they have pictures of is of a primate bite. It's not of a canine bite."
Now the dog's owners are worried that someone who wanted to harm the dog has taken him. Their attorney, Joe Simon told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that it's likely the dog is dead. Even so, the reward for information about his disappearance stands.
UMWA plan to appeal dismissal of lawsuit
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to preserve benefits for bankrupt Patriot Coal Corp.'s active and retired miners.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin on Friday sided with Peabody Energy and Arch Coal.
The United Mine Workers of America filed the lawsuit last year, saying the companies set up spinoff companies to rid themselves of their benefits obligations. The lawsuit argued they were still responsible for those benefits under the federal Employee Retirement and Income Securities Act.
But Goodwin ruled the law doesn't protect a pension fund's financial stability.
UMW President Cecil Roberts tells The Charleston Gazette the union plans to appeal.
Peabody spun off Patriot in 2007, and Patriot later acquired mines that Arch spun off into Magnum Coal. Patriot declared bankruptcy last year.
IL judge to decide fate of gay marriage lawsuit at 11 a.m. hearing
CHICAGO (AP) - An Illinois judge promises to rule on the future of a lawsuit seeking to legalize same-sex marriage in the state.
The lawsuit was filed last year by 25 gay couples who want the right to marry.
Cook County Judge Sophia Hall is expected to rule Friday on a motion to dismiss the case.
Lawyers for five downstate county clerks who are defending the ban want the case tossed. Plaintiffs' attorneys want the judge to let the lawsuit stand - then rule immediately that they won the lawsuit and that the ban is illegal.
The clerks won permission to defend the ban after Cook County's top prosecutor and the Illinois attorney general refused to do so, saying the 17 year old ban violates the state constitution.
Illinois legalized civil unions two years ago.
National group promises lawsuit if lawmakers override gun control veto
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A national group is vowing to sue if Missouri legislators enact a law allowing criminal charges against federal agents who attempt to enforce federal gun-control laws.
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence said Wednesday that it is prepared to sue if the Missouri Legislature overrides Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of the bill. Lawmakers were convening Wednesday to decide on the veto override.
The legislation attempts to nullify federal policies that "infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms." It allows state misdemeanor charges against federal authorities who try to enforce those laws or against anyone who publishes the identity of a gun owner.
The Brady Center says the measure violates constitutional provisions protecting free-speech and declaring federal laws supreme over conflicting state measures.
MO AG suing Walgreens for allegedly overcharging customers
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster says the drugstore chain Walgreens is overcharging customers on about 20 percent of the items it sells.
Koster has filed a civil lawsuit against the Illinois-based retailer after undercover investigators in his office visited eight stores across the state, including two in the St. Louis area.
Koster says in some cases, the price posted on the shelf was for a sale that had long expired. In other cases, the retailer promised discounted prices for rewards members, then charged the regular price at the checkout.
Koster says anyone who feels they were overcharged, or who witnesses deceptive pricing should call the Missouri Consumer Hotline at 1-800-392-8222 or visit his website.
In response to the lawsuit, Walgreens issued the following statement:
"We have a 112-year history of acting in our customers' best interests, and that will continue to be our focus. While we won't comment on the complaint itself, we were disappointed and disagree with the attorney general's comments. However, we are prepared to have a constructive dialogue about the issues he raised and address any appropriate concerns."
Environmentalists sue MO over renewable energy
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - An environmental group is heading to court in another attempt to overturn the way Missouri officials have implemented a 2008 ballot initiative about renewable energy.
The initiative requires investor-owned utilities to tap renewable energy sources for at least 5 percent of their electricity by 2014, with that amount gradually rising to 15 percent by 2021.
In 2011, the Legislature blocked part of an administrative rule that would have required the electricity from renewable energy sources to be produced or sold in Missouri. The result is that utilities have been able to purchase credits for renewable energy produced by others.
A lawsuit filed this past week on behalf of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment challenges the legal basis for the Legislature's action.
Missouri lawmaker files suit over health insurance requirement
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri House member and his wife are going to court over what they say is a requirement that their group health insurance include coverage for contraception.
The Thomas More Society filed a federal lawsuit in St. Louis on Wednesday on behalf of Paul and Teresa Wieland. Paul Wieland is a Republican from Imperial.
According to court documents, the family previously opted out of coverage for contraceptives, sterilization or abortifacients. The lawsuit contends the Wielands have been told their coverage must now include contraception and sterilization because of the federal health care law.
The Wielands contend their religious, free speech and parental rights have been violated. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment and an injunction.
Jack Clark hires attorney, stands by "PED" accusations
The former Cardinal who is in hot water for his comments linking Albert Pujols to performance enhancing drugs has hired a noted St. Louis attorney.
Jack Clark has retained Chet Pleban to represent him in any litigation started by Pujols.
Clark issued a statement Tuesday saying, "I stand by my previous remarks regarding Pujols and will rigorously defend any lawsuit that he chooses to file. Litigation is an intense fact finding process and I welcome the opportunity for a jury of 12 unbiased people to judge the credibility of my comments."
Clark was fired from his radio job after saying on air that he knew for a fact that Pujols had used PEDs.
Pujols says he will take legal action against Clark, station
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols says he's taking legal action against Jack Clark after the former St. Louis Cardinals star accused him of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
The injured Los Angeles Angels' slugger released a statement Friday night, saying: "I am currently in the process of taking legal action against Jack Clark and his employers at WGNU 920AM."
Clark said Pujols' former trainer, Chris Mihlfeld, told him 10 years ago that he "shot him up."
Pujols is sidelined by a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot. He's in his second season with the Angels after 11 years in St. Louis.

Julie Rains's Bio
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from The Kenan-Flagler School of Business, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Master's-level Certificate in Technology & Communication from The School of Journalism and Mass Communication at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Corporate finance and accounting; freelance business writer and resume writer.Contributing writer to Expert Resumes: Military-to-Civilian Transitions, No-Nonsense Cover Letters, Resumes for the Rest of Us, and The Twitter Job Search Guide.
Other kids may have memories of their dads showing them how to ride a bike or their moms drilling them on times tables, but what do I remember? My dad explaining to me how compound interest worked and showing me his mortgage amortization table when I was, oh, about 8 or 9 years old. Ah, the time value of money. I'm not sure if I should have experienced more as a child or if there was just something about present and future values, interest rates, and exponential growth that just clicked with me. Years later, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a a concentration in Finance from the Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Since then, I worked as a financial analyst for a regional bank, staff accountant for an apparel manufacturer, and accounting manager for a consumer products company. All underwent some sort of major transition following acquisitions, driving me to pursue a career outside the corporate realm as a freelance business writer. Along the way, I learned tons from clients, who allow me to probe inside their brains in order to gather the information that I need to write reasoned, intelligent, informed communication pieces for them. I've also earned the designation as Certified Professional Resume Writer, did graduate work in New Media, and contributed to four career-services books. Recently, I became the co-author of the money-saving book, 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget.
I'm a mortgage-free homeowner, not just because I'm frugal but also because I've owned my house for a while. I love business, especially learning about how businesses operate, make money, treat people (their employees, shareholders, and customers), and adapt to changing times. I am a wife and mom, which means there's always something else I need to do.
It's exciting to have the opportunity to tell stories and share information that gives someone insight into a dilemma or illustrates a concept in a way that leads to understanding. What I really enjoy, though, is learning, reflecting, and growing with my fellow bloggers, our readers, and any other blogosphere citizens who happen to stop for a visit.

Warburton: Bees must maintain standards or risk being dropped
9:34am Monday 23rd December 2013 in Football By Stuart Amos
Unbeaten start: Bees manager Mark Warburton was pleased his side stuck to their attacking principles
Brentford boss mark Warburton has warned his men not to let their standards slip else they face a spell on the sidelines.
Goals from Adam Fordshaw, Marcello Trotta and Sam Saunders fired the Bees to a 3-0 League One win at Preston North End on Saturday.
Results elsewhere meant third placed Brentford closed the gap on league pace setters Leyton Orient and Wolverhampton Wanderers to just a point at the top of the table.
It means Warburton's men are unbeaten in their last 10 league games - a run which has featured nine wins and seven cleansheets - and the manager has told his men not to become complacent.
"You have to know that every single day if you fall below the standard you run the risk of losing your shirt," he said.
"Then you might not get it back for a few weeks. You have to have that competition."
Although Warburton admitted the decision to drop Will Grigg to the bench at the weekend - with Trotta starting alongside Clayton Donaldson up front - was a tactical change of heart that paid off.
"From the first whistle the moved the ball well and worked the channels. We''d worked on that all week and testament to their character," he added.
"We got the two goals and I'm pleased we didn't sit back, but looked for the third goal.
"3-5-2 poses us problems defensively, but gives us options offensively and gives us channels to play into. We looked to work those early on.
"I spoke to both players [Will Grigg and Marcello Trotta] and it's not about one or the other.
"There will be games where they both start. Trotta was away with the Italian under-21s, scored a goal and has looked very good in training."

Kulatunga leads the recovery for Wayamba
Jeevantha Kulatunga scored an impressive half century for the Wayamba Elevens to lead their recovery after being reduced to 2-2 after just one over against the Chevrolet Warriors.
Kulatunga was in impressive form for the Sri Lankans scoring 59 from just 44 deliveries which included 6 fours and 3 sixes which proved vital for Wayamba as they ended their innings 153-9.
The innings got off to an appalling start though with Rusty Theron picking up the key wickets of Mahela Jayawardene (0) and Mahela Udawatte (2) in the first over.
The young South African bowled with pace and swing which left the batsmen unsettled at the crease with Jayawardene lasting just two deliveries before he swung wildly at a in swinging delivery which sailed into the hands of Justin Kreusch at second slip.
Udawatte quickly followed lasting just 4 deliveries before he picked out Nicky Boje at mid on to leave the Sri Lankans 2-2 at the end of the first over.
Kulatunga relieved the pressure in the third over dispatching Lonwabo Tsotsobe for two boundaries and a towering six over long on to signal his intent.
Kulatunga built a vital 3rd wicket partnership of 48 with skipper Jehan Mubarak but with the pair looking settled the Warriors struck back thanks to Boje who picked up the wicket of Mubarak (9) at the start of the 8th over.
The lose of Mubarak didnt effect Kulatunga who continued to attack the bowlers smashing Boje for a huge six which sailed out of the ground to leave Wayamba 58-3 after 9 overs.
Boje was punished again in the 11th over, this time by Kushal Janith Perera who sent a tossed up delivery from the former South African international flying over mid wicket.
Perera repeated the shot in the next over, this time bowled by Johan Botha before Kulatunga completed a vital half century with a single off Makhaya Ntini in the 12th over.
With the runs starting to flow the Warriors started to look nervous in the field with skipper, Davey Jacobs guilty of dropping a sitter at midwicket to hand an extra life to Kulatunga.
Luckily for Jacobs; Kulatunga could only add 8 runs to his total before he was caught two overs later by Kreusch out on the boundary to end an impressive innings thanks to Tsosobe who was brought back into the attack.
With the break through made Theron was also brought back into the attack and he picked up his third wicket of the innings when he dismissed the big hitting wicket keeper Perera (39) during the 16th over.
Kaushal Lokuarachchi (14) Thisara Perera (11) and Farveez Maharoof (5) quickly followed though as Wayamba suffered a late order wobble losing three wickets in the final over as the Warriors fought back to restrict the Sri Lankans.

I love my jungle mods but I refuse to wear suede and there is only a couple of colours available in leather in the UK - more leather colours please! The loops at the back are very annoying as they catch on your trousers, but I have cut them off - only time will tell if the threading comes undone and I have ruined them forever.
Sized as Expected
Most days as I am now retired.
I like these shoes. Good fit, comfortable and stylist. Have a nice solid feel to walk in. A bit paranoid about dirt as a very light colour.

Part II: Project Jeeponomics
Jeep|o|nom|ics (jep-o-näm'iks) the act of spending a good portion of one's capital on aftermarket products, and/or modifications for one's Jeep, thereby enhancing both the Jeep's job performance and the economic health of companies offering the products and/or modifications in question. Also accounts for the acronym j.e.e.p. Just Empty Every Pocket.
Stim|u-lus Pack-age (stim'yoo-ls pak'ij) a gathering of quality products and/or modifications together for the purpose of stimulating the performance of the vehicle in question. A by-product of this packaging is stimulation of the bottom line of the companies offering involved products. It is hoped that no pork is installed during this packaging.
Back in the September 2009 issue of 4 WHEEL DRIVE & SPORT UTILITY MAGAZINE, we introduced Project Jeeponomics, a bright yellow 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK two-door. In that article, the installation and performance of an American Expedition Vehicle's (AEV) 3.5-inch suspension, coupled with 35-inch Interco M16 tires and AEV beadlock wheels were discussed. These modifications turned the Jeep into a more capable 'wheeler due to better ground clearance(s) and formidable tires. With these new abilities it quickly became apparent that its bright yellow body was in dire need of some armor to protect it from the new elements it was now capable of visiting. Heck, I even bashed in the dreadful front "rubber baby buggy bumper" setting up approach angle photos for that suspension article!
Besides its bumpers, the Jeep's most vulnerable areas were its rocker panels and rear corner panels. Along with adding armor to these areas, I wanted to open up the wheel wells to give the JK a lighter, airier look and get away from the multi-piece, massive O.E. fender flares that I knew, sooner or later, would get mangled by an errant rock or tree limb.
All of these bodily areas of concern are well covered by the aftermarket, with lots of different designs to choose from. In many cases it's a matter of personal preference as to what you want your JK to look like. In this article we'll look at the parts I chose, and point out a few reasons why, besides aesthetics, I feel they are a good choice for a JK owner who plans to use his Jeep hard.

text: Tankless systems are engineered to heat potable water, so any antifreeze would make that water deadly to drink. Also, most are not designed for potentially continuous use 24/7, which might happen during a cold spell. Then, most do not have a huge volume capability and may contain an internal restrictor. A boiler is designed for this use...similar, but not the same. A few can be used for this application, and still have a warranty, but is some cases, that warranty is shortened significantly verses use as originally designed to heat potable water. Also, keep in mind that with any use of antifreeze, it carries with it an efficency hit as it does not transfer heat as effectively as pure water does (course, you'd want that for both a boiler and a HW source like the tankless if you're going to turn the heat off in the winter).

Comment: Make it easy for them (Score 1) 205
Writing a good bug report is not easy, and users should not be expected to know what information the developer will need to find and fix the bug. They only want to report that there is a problem, and that they'd like it fixed.
That said, you can guide them to give more useful information. I found that making a form to fill out with all the details broken out into separate pieces gave us more useful information. Want to know how to reproduce the bug? Make that an individual question on the report. Which component where you using, or what web page were you on? Make that a specific question. A real person can follow up if necessary to get other information, and then they can file the "official" bug report in the form that the developer can understand and use.

Birds supposedly have UV vision, and some of their markings are for each other, and are more clearly distinguished by other birds that can see UV.
So you might consider observing birds and making sketches of their markings, much like the naturalists of 100 years ago, so that the rest of us can see what the birds can see of each other.

Comment: Verizon blocks at the "free" router (Score 1) 459
I've run my own mail and web servers from my home for years, so I was worried about this when I was making the switch from Time-Warner cable (who didn't care, BTW) to Verizon Fios. One person I know reported that Verizon did indeed block port 25 (and port 80) inbound, while another told me his setup worked fine, once he replaced the free router they gave him with his own router.
And indeed, after making the switch, I still am able to get mail inbound on port 25. The modem/router they gave me does have controls to adjust security settings, which look a lot like Windows trusted -vs- untrusted controls. But I can't really tell if they do much. The key thing I found was to set up port forwarding to send port 25 to the machine in my internal network with the mail server. Same for port 80 to the web server.
Outbound I route through the ISP. Postfix makes that easy. I found a few years ago that certain domains I sent to, though not all of them, started bouncing mail even though I had an SPF record, just because my IP address was in a range listed as "dynamic" (i.e. "residential"). Clearly that's for spam control. Not everybody does this, and I could send direct to those who do not, but it was simpler to just send everything out via port 587 to the ISP.
